CCW Race wheels are on!

**Killercanary** · 04-23-2010, 11:42 AM

I finally got around to installing my longer wheel studs in order to mount my new autocross wheels. I have my 1st event at Wyotech this saturday, so we'll see how they perform!

Looks like lotsa rubber......and therefore traction.

Be sure to post up your results!

Nice looking setup paul as always. The car looks right at home now

OOOH SHIT! Looks nice man.. what setup are you running? Backspacing/tire width

**Dan B.** · 04-23-2010, 12:52 PM

Awesome looking ride!!

BTW....Wave when you drive by my house!! I'm right along Rt 22 (top of the hill on right)where the road construction starts after crossing over 56.

I was thinking lotsa camber :D Holy cow, didn't think they needed that much. Now I understand the flares ;)

Nice!

**silver03tt** · 04-24-2010, 05:45 PM

The car looks mean in the first pic. Looks like a good set up.

**MBH** · 04-24-2010, 06:52 PM

Very very nice, Paul! Now that's what I call some business shoes!

**RUTHLESS** · 04-24-2010, 08:45 PM

I LOVE ccw classics!!

**wick** · 04-24-2010, 09:16 PM

I like the CCW wheels. But they are starting to turn into the Cobra R wheels. Everybody is getting them. Still nice though.

**RUTHLESS** · 04-24-2010, 09:27 PM

^ Ouch! I am not sure where you buy your Cobra R wheels but they can be had for a bit cheaper than CCWs. Infact...They can be had for about the cost of new bolts in a CCW wheel.

1. I dont have or want to buy Cobra R wheels.
2. I said they are nice, the CCW wheels that is.
3. I just said they are starting to show up a lot more on mustangs. Like the cobra r wheels did.

Looks great, Paul! How did you do?

**Killercanary** · 04-26-2010, 11:02 AM

Thanks everyone! The weather sucked but I still ventured out on Saturday. Temps in the 50's, 5yr old race tires, rain, and a surface that was just sealed last fall didn't help the car stick at all... :( The car count was low due to the weather but I was FTD until Snailmont50 pulled a ringer out on his last run and beat my 31.9 with a 31.7X. Congrats again Mike, I don't know where you found the extra time savings out there!

Modularmike- I bought these wheels used so I'm not 100% sure on the specs. They are 17X10's to the best of my knowledge and the backspacing is a just a bit less than my '03 anniversary cobra wheels which I believe are right around 5.95"-6", don't hold me to that though as I'm not 100% certain. The tires are 275-40-17 Kuhmo V710's. I wanted to run a 295 but Kuhmo only make them in a 40 series tire. Hoosier makes a 295-35-17 which would work, but they are more expensive and they wear out much faster. I'm hard on tires so I'll give up a little stick if I can get them to last a full season or more.

Dan B.- I beeped! :)

Bob- I know that picture looks like I have a lot of camber, but I'm severely camber limited. This has been a problem for me since I started modifying the suspension. I have my MM CC plates in the negative orientation and I'm still only able to get ~1.4* of camber on the passenger side. My plate on the driver side is complete maxed out for minimum camber and I have 1.5* on that side, and my passenger plate is completely maxed out for maximum camber and I only have 1.3*. I'm going to check the squareness of the K member this week to see if it is tweaked over or not.

Wick- Thanks for the complement. While I would agree that these are one of the more popular high end wheels for mustangs, I doubt at nearly 5x's the cost of a reproduction cobra wheel they will become as common. I wouldn't buy a new set due to their cost, at least not for only autocrossing on, but I bought them used at a good enough price that I couldn't pass them up.

Tammy- I was FTD until Mike managed to beat me on his last run. He managed to pickup over a full second between his previous fastest run to the one where he beat me. I still don't know how he did it!
